Blg-lamaster Farming, Saturday, March 3,1984 CRAFT Sculptural cables Cable-knit patterns, as we know them today, first originated in the coastal fishing towns of Ireland, where cable designs reminded the villagers of fishing ropes. Since each village developed its own distinctive cable patterns, you could usually tell where a fisherman lived by the sweater he wore. The yarn used for fishermen’s sweaters, like the “Blameyspun” in the Irish wool V-neck shown, by tradition was a rugged textured, unscoured wool. Because of its ability to resist rain and spray, Save (Continued from Page B 17) charge, they will not be asked to give any “hands on” rescue. “They will be there to answer any questions and concerns that may come up and to give advice,” Gockley said. One of the dealerships par ticipating in the new program is Binkley and Hurst Bros., Inc., Lititz. “I think it is a good program,” said Amos Hurst, co-owner of the dealership. “It is a part of saving lives and that is the biggest thing ” Hurst explained that in the Rothsville Fire Company, of which he is a member, there are many farmers, but some areas do not have farmers in the fire company and that is where the program will be especially important.

Since you’ll also have to attach sleeves, information about setting sleeves into this or any other sweater follows Setting a sleeve into a sweater is an important part of the finish. Two different shapes must be fitted together neatly and smoothly, requiring care for best results. The first step for many sweaters, including this one, is to join the left shoulder seam with a backstitch as described below. Then, knit the neck edge and join the right shoulder seam. For most sweaters, stitch un derarm and sleeve seams at this point. Leave sweater wrong side out. Fold sleeves in half, mark the center of each sleeve top with a pin and turn to right side. If sleeves need easing, run a thread along the edge and gather. Position sleeves in armholes, matching right side of sleeves to right side of sweater. Match un derarm seems and pin. Match center of sleeve to shoulder seam and pin. Pin sleeves all around, gathering in the extra fullness at the top. Sew sleeves in place with a backstitch seam. To backstitch seams, thread a blunt-pointed yarn needle with sweater yam. If your yarn is too heavy, separate the strands. Fasten yam in place by making two small stitches on top of one another. Bring needle out slightly in front of the fastening stitches. Bring needle back toward the fastening stitches, insert it beside the last stitch, and bring it out again a little further in front. Continue the seam by inserting needle back beside the last stitch and out again a little farther in front. Work stitches in a straight line, close to the edges, but far enough away to keep any decrease marks from showing. Make sure all stitches touch and don’t pull yam too tightly.
